allows you to send to a veejay server short commands in interactive mode,
single VIMS message or files containing VIMS messages.

In the following examples, lets say a veejay instance is running on host
`localhost` using port `3490` (its default values).
Typing '?' followed by pressing ENTER gives the list of command below:
**Interactive Mode**
```
$ sayVIMS -i -h localhost -p 3490

In interactive mode, after a connection is establish with a veejay server,
a prompt wait you to enter VIMS commands. Press `ENTER` to send it.
The connection remain open until you exit by typing `quit`.
Typing '?' followed by pressing `ENTER` gives the list of command below:

Also, you can send messages in VIMS format (or files, containing VIMS
messages )
**Single VIMS message**
Also, you can send single VIMS format message.
For example, add the Pixelate effect on the Effect Chain of the current
playing stream or clip :
```
sayVIMS -h localhost -p 3490 -m "361:0 0 100 3;"
```
sayVIMS -h localhost -p 3490 "361:0 0 150 3;"
**Using files**
Last but not least, sayVIMS can parse files containing VIMS messages.
See the test/examples directory of the package for a list of perl
See the `veejay-server/test/examples` directory of the package for a list of perl
scripts that output a VIMS script.
```
sayVIMS -f advocate.vims -h localhost -p 3490
```
**Others examples**
Alternativly, you can start a secundary veejay and stream from peer to
peer in uncompressed video :
```
$ veejay -d -p 5000
$ sayVIMS -h localhost -p 5000 "245:localhost 3490;"
$ sayVIMS -h localhost -p 5000 -m "245:localhost 3490;"
(press 'F7' in veejay to display the stream, prob. stream 7)
```
Or for multicast:
```
$ veejay -V 224.0.0.50 -p 5000 -n -L movie1.avi
$ veejay -d
$ sayVIMS -h localhost -p 3490 "246:224.0.0.50 5000;"
$ sayVIMS -h localhost -p 3490 -m "246:224.0.0.50 5000;"
$ veejay -d -p 4000
$ sayVIMS -h localhost -p 4000 "246:224.0.0.50 5000;"
Or, if you want to play a XVID movie (or any other compressed format
that is not I frame only):
$ sayVIMS -h localhost -p 3490 "244:/tmp/my-XVID-movie.avi;"
$ sayVIMS -h localhost -p 4000 -m "246:224.0.0.50 5000;"
